My swimming pool has been established for over 20 years on city. Water and rain water (none from the roof). It has had leaves to clean but fewer this year. However three walnut trees have dropped some this their first year of fruiting. We skim and use a cover regularly with very little litter or...

HI all. I have a problem with my water lilies. Got a couple of pretty
flower heads but I also had several mushy flower buds that just were
floppy in the water. The plants along with soil, rocks and water are in
a large plastic container which I put them in early last year and I had
the problem last...

I have acquired a pressurised filter (mini dustbin with foam filters
inside) and a UV (light in a box) unit. What should be the sequence in
which they are linked ? Pump in pond to ...? bin or UV, which comes
first ? I was then assuming it will be ok to then link the two units
with Flexi hose and...

Yes this has happened in my pond last winter noticed a fish at the bottom I thought was dead when I put it in the net and brought it to the surface notice a frog wrapped tightly around it I removed the frog and threw it over the garden fence the fish swam off but within 2 days it died.ðŸ˜¬

I have just witnessed this myself , I have just netted my koi at bottom of pond with a frog on top of it-the frog had wedged its front feet into the fish gills killing the fish. It is mating season at the moment - so this is possible. I was a bit quick removing the frog from the koi to see if the...

I found this blog while trying to find anything I could about frogs killing koi fish. We have a very large natural pond with 12 medium to large koi. Last spring for the first time we started to see tiny black fish in the pond, needless to say they were baby koi. We had a few hundred, many were...

Last weekend i mixed with water and decanted a sack of this in my wild
pond to reduce algae. I had a thriving shoal of tiny (1-2 cm long)
Golden Rudd fry. Three or four hundred probably.
The effect was devastating. Within three days most of them had died.
There was nothing in the instructions to...

Protection could be a reason once pond liners are used. Once a hole is, a pond liner is placed within the hole so it's stuffed with water. Rocks are then placed round the perimeter of the pond to hide up the sting of the pond liner, and additional rocks are congregated on a mound of dirt lined with...

After spending last summer and most of the fall in FL I returned home to find
my pond full of leaves and quite a few fish missing. Seems my daughter
"forgot" the water was on (for 3 days) and I lost most of my older fish to I'm
sure chlorine. This spring I got out the net and scooped out as much...

Here is a funny one. Having a new problem this Winter. Our pond is about 10 years old, 2200 gallon, with lot's of vegetation growing around it. Obvioulsly the frogs like it, as we have had Bullfrogs since the pond was three years old. In past Winters, I may find a Frog once or twice all Winter...

Hello everyone
My problem is that my neighbour has a 3 year old raised pond (meter high
so inaccessible to amphibians) with no plants & no wildlife so mozzies
have taken over & are invading my house every evening! The thing looks
like pea soup. I too have a pond, but it is rich in vegetation,...

Hi, I'm Ann and I live in the English midlands. For years beyond
measure I've kept fish, been a devoted gardener and pondkeeper and of
recent years I managed a company that desilts lakes and restores aquatic
environments, including river bank repairs after flooding.
What we have only just...
